SADNESS! Adult Film Star Wesley Pipes Has Inoperable Cancer
Reports Slumz.Boxden: Pipes and his family will have to pay for the long and expensive treatment.
“I was both shocked and saddened to learn about Wesley’s cancer. We have been friends and a$sociates for quite some time now,” Devoe said.
He added, “Cancer is a real beast, but Wesley is a strong person, and I know he will put up one helluva f!ght. Wesley has always been selfless and giving, and has helped countless others. So, in his time of need it’s only fitting that we as an industry come together to help one of our own. Please donate whatever you can to the fund that has been set up in his name.”
NeNe Leakes Accused of Stealing T-Shirt Designs
NeNe Leakes has been accused of stealing t-shirt designs by a company, Tees in the Trap.
According to the company, NeNe purchased one of their shirts from stylist Olori Swank’s pop up shop in Atlanta. She liked the shirt so much that she took a picture of herself in it and posted it to Instagram.
NeNe wearing Tees in the Trap’s “Girl Bye” shirt.
Instead of telling fans where they could purchase the shirt, NeNe decided to drop her own ‘Girl, Bye’ shirts featuring a nearly identical design.
A representative from Tees in the Trap released the following statement:
“While we can’t stop her from selling a Girl Bye tee, we did legally stop her from selling a design that looked exactly like ours. She has now changed the font completely and is selling her own version of the shirt, which was completely fine with us until she had her lawyers send us a cease and desist letter saying that we had no right to have her shirt taken down and since she’s more popular and made the saying “Girl Bye” famous that she has the exclusive right to use it on shirts and we don’t, so we need to take ours down. NO ACTUAL legal defense other than, she’s more famous.”
To make matters worse, NeNe has also moved to trademark the phrase “Girl Bye” to stop the company from profiting off of the t-shirts THEY created.
That’s just so nasty, and so rude. You would think that NeNe would be too busy focusing on her HSN line instead of trying to bully a much smaller t-shirt company.
Shady b*tch!

A SCANDAL Spinoff???
A recent comment by Shonda Rhimes leaves us wondering if there’s a chance that Scandal may have a spin-off. Recently, Rhimes told The Hollywood Reporter that she’s leaving her options open for a potential B613 spinoff.
For those familiar with the ABC show — starring Kerry Washington — Emmy award winning actor Joe Morton has a recurring role as Rowan Pope, and heads B613,a black-ops organization. And after 4 seasons of the show, Olivia Pope’s (played by Washington) Gladiators have yet to successfully shut down the show.
The showrunner tells the outlet: "I have my own obsessions with B613 that are probably unhealthy. I have like three versions of a B613 spinoff in my head that I obsess about constantly."
If there any chances of an immediate spin-off, they may have to wait for now as Rhimes oversees Scandal, Grey’s Anatomy and How to Get Away With Murder:
"I have some jobs, as you may notice, and not a lot of time to do some new jobs. The last time I had three shows [Grey’s, Scandal and Private Practice] I created on the air at the same time, I promised myself I’d never do that again — so right now, I’m good."
However, there is an end date for Scandal, as Rhimes previously stated that the show wasn’t a “10-season or eight-season show”.
"We’re telling a story and it’s a very particular story and I don’t think you could go, ‘Now this other person is Olivia Pope.’ It’s not that kind of story; I think there’s an end to it that is important for us to get to."
Porsha Williams Shows Off Her ‘All Natural’ Hair
Every time we see Ms. Porsha Williams she has a head full of luxurious tresses.
So much so, that she’s created a name for herself outside of The Real Housewives of Atlanta franchise with her Go Naked hair line.
In a not-so-shameless plug, Porsha took to Instagram to show off her natural hair before her own ‘Go Naked’ bundles were added.
“All Natural for 2.5 seconds @gonakedhair installed in 3…2…1… #Standby Stylist @kellonderyck,” she captioned the above pic.
She later shared the beginning of the final style. We like!
Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized Over Chikungunya Virus
Lindsay Lohan was hospitalized in London over the rare virus Chikungunya that she contracted during her vacation in Bora Bora over the holidays.
She was said to be in severe pain following her diagnosis with the rare virus. Chikungunya is said to be transmitted by mosquitoes and the virus causes joint pain, fever and fatigue. Before the New Year, Lindsay flew to Los Angeles to film her Esurance commercial that is reportedly being aired during the Super Bowl.
When she returned to London, she was in so much pain that she couldn’t walk and had to be taken to the hospital. We’ve heard reports that the joint pain could last for months and that the hospital kept Lindsay until her fever broke.
Reportedly, her joint pain is still intense and the doctors who have treated her have referred her to a specialist who treats this particular virus. Dina Lohan is on her way to London in order to be with her daughter.
Love & Instagram: DeSean Jackson, Andre Drummond, Dwyane Wade & Ocho Cinco
Can you find love via Instagram? Possibly, you also can find a good time. Check out some of this weeks hook ups, crushes and announcements.
Looks as if Washington Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson seems to have found a new boo. Instagram model Kayla Phillips. Kayla posted on Monday that DeSean was her #MCE – Man Crush EVERYDAY. Sounds like she wants the world to know that this isn’t just a crush.
We’ll see how long this one lasts.
DJacc isn’t the only athlete whose flossing an Instagram famous boo this week. Detroit Pistons big man Andre Drummond has linked up with Sadè Bagnerise.
I have no idea what she does but apparently she’s IG popular which is enough for some.
Nicki Minaj Named Headline Performer At X Games Austin 2015
Nicki Minaj is heading to Austin, Texas. The “Feelin’ Myself” rapper is set to headline the X Games taking place in the city this summer.
“I look forward to channeling the energy and spirit from the X Games into a performance Austin will not forget,” she told The Wrap.
Nicki will be rockin’ ESPN’s annual action sports event, which takes place June 4-7 at the 1,500-acre Circuit of the Americas, on the new Super Stage.
“Having Nicki Minaj headline one of the nights of X Games Austin is going to be really fun,” said Tim Reed vice president, X Games. “We still have other headliners to announce in the upcoming months but the mix of Nicki Minaj with world-class athletes will make for a must attend event in Austin.”
Talib Kweli, Pennywise and Deltron 3030 have also been tapped to perform at the event. Additional headliners and musical performers will be announced at a later date.
Is Rihanna Finally Releasing ‘R8′ During Grammy Week? also NBA All Star Weekend Concert Rumors
Rihanna’s 8th studio album may finally be upon us. While we’ve been patiently waiting any concrete news regarding the release of ‘R8′, The Grammys’ Twitter account may have just given us a major clue.
The show tweeted a series of anchor emojis, which have been known to coincide with Rihanna’s “Navy.” Along with the anchors, the account simply added: “#GRAMMYs 2.8.15.”
❝???????????????? #GRAMMYs 2.8.15
— The GRAMMYs (@TheGRAMMYs) January 21, 2015
Now, normally that would seem like a bit of a reach…but if you combine that tweet with the fact that one of Rihanna’s dancers, Crystal Schaefer retweeted it and asked fans if they’re ‘ready for R&?’ — we can’t help but get a little more excited than usual.
It’s possible that the Grammys’ could be teasing a single release or a surprise performance, but at this point we’ll take anything Rihanna wants to give us.
Adding even more fuel to the R8 fire, Page Six is reporting that Rihanna’s in talks for a massive concert during NBA All-Star Weekend.
Jay Z’s Roc Nation is in talks with Rihanna to have her perform at the splashy public concert in the Flatiron District during the NBA All-Star weekend on Feb. 12.
The Post revealed yesterday details of the concert and plans to shut down several busy streets around Fifth Avenue and Broadway from 23rd to 26th streets for the event, leaving some neighbors dreading traffic snarls.
We hear Roc Nation has been in discussions with RiRi for some time, but no deal has yet been reached.
Whatever’s happening, we have a feeling it’s going to be huge.
